However, there was a great war that divided the creations into four separate elemental alliances. Known as the Apagorevménos War, had lasted nearly a decade after the executions of Crowned Princess Maitiena and Prince Calatien. Ancient laws forbade the love between different star signs, but the teenagers continued to meet in secret. One month after being together, Maitiena's maid caught the two and alerted the nobles. The Ariean nobles had hung Maitiena, and Orphiucuic nobles drowned Cala-' "Cypress. Are you paying attention?" "Yes, Mrs. Stagnos," I muttered. Her piercing eyes crushed through my soul, a true Scorpio. Behind me, I heard Kodiak and Xen snickering.…
You've probably heard about celebrities dealing with eating disorders. A well known one is Demi Lovato. She started eating compulsively at a very young age and she stopped at the age of twelve because she was bullied. She struggled with phases of anorexia and bulimia since. The example of Demi Lovato is just one of a few. Even with the big place the medias give to eating disorders, they are stigmatized a lot. In fact, there is a lot of miscomprehension around eating disorders, especially concerning their general characteristics, their causes and their consequences…

Due to the financial crisis there have been many changes made to government programs to reduce costs and help with debt. Many of these cuts are happening statewide, in America’s public schools. The first programs that are being cut are the art programs, and the excuse is that the core classes are more important. The argument is that children need to be more focused on test scores in Math, Science, English and History. It is unfair to single out art classes, there should be a more even spread of budget cuts, not just the sole elimination of the arts. There are parents who are indifferent with the arts and they are unfazed by their removal from elementary public schools. What many of these parents do not recognize is that there are actually benefits of the arts that help with core subjects. Some benefits are strengthening problem solving skills, stimulating critical thinking and helping developmental growth. There is also a duel component that shows that there is a direct correlation between SAT test scores and art programs in schools, as well as higher participation and attendance. It has also been shown that the arts can help boost the economy.…
In astrology, Aries is considered a new beginning and, in turn, begins John Gardner’s novel (Heindel 163). This chapter focuses on the cyclical nature of astrology. According to Grendel, this is the twelfth year of his “idiotic war” (Gardner 5). He notes that this year will, more than likely, be just like all those before it and also says the same of the ram. The ram is the symbol of Aries (Levine). To emphasize the cycle of his life, Grendel says “So it goes with me day by day and age by age… Locked in the deadly progression of moon and stars” (Gardner 8). This quotation also includes the subtle nod to astrology. He mentions the cycle of going down to attack the village and how, afterwards, repairs will be made to the village.…
“Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore, send the homeless tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” Reference? America has long been the land of freedom and hope to the world, and the American military is what has kept her that way. People have forgotten how important and valuable the military is to the world that we live in. As part of the Budget Control Act of 2011, automatic sequestration calls for $1.2 trillion in lowered federal spending, with 50% coming from defense and 50% coming from non-defense budgets. If Congress cannot reach an agreement, these cuts will reduce the Department of Defense spending by about $55 billion dollars. On September 11, 2001, the United States faced a difficult time in which 3,000 lives were lost due to an attack upon the U.S. by terrorists who hijacked airplanes and crashed them into the Twin Towers in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and the United States Pennsylvania! That day, 9/11, has become a day in which we remember the lives that were lost and the families who were affected by such a tragedy. We called on our military once again, and they were there to protect our country. I am against automatic sequestration towards the military and military programs for many reasons.…
Although Euripides play Medea creates feelings of fear in the audience, it also creates feeling of pity in the audience as well. Medea is firstly portrayed as a pitiful woman whose problem is much bigger than her own life. Facing the fact that she will be exiled very soon and the fact that she has nowhere to go, combined with her abhorrence towards her enemies, she starts to devise a plan that not only will set her free from her problems but also will cost a fortune to her enemies. But the audience is later shocked by the way she does her revenge. Her revenge is horrendous and brutal. It now shows a totally different character of Medea – she is no longer a woman to be pitied, but she is now a monster to be feared – because she breaches normative values that the society holds dear by murdering her enemies in an inhumane way to even murdering her own children as a way to hurt her enemy even though she herself is also hurt.…
Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…
1930s- In the 1930s money was scarce because of the depression. People tried what they could too to keep themselves happy. They would watch movies, play games, and such. In the great depression the American dream had become a nightmare. The great place that was once called the land of opportunity was now known as the land of desperation. The best place for a better life was California.…
* Astrology serves as another form of belief. Without this some human being would not have any type of faith. If we can look up toward the night sky and see something is really their than it is not too farfetched to believe in the heavens above. We all now know there is constellations in the sky and different people see different things from them. If looking up and praying to the gods than why not in the stars. Other than that the whole idea is another form to make or market ideas to make money. The use of astrology sometimes is manipulated to prey on others belief systems.…
"It's not just a game," to many athletes this statement rings true. Sports fuel the drive and determination within people, and provide them an essential learning tool from which they can grow. Competitive is defined as, "of or relating to a situation in which people or groups are trying to win a contest or be more successful than other : relating to or involving competition ."(merriam-webster.com) This concept of competitiveness is the foundation of all sports. The competitive spirit and thirst to want to better oneself in order to be at the top is a fueling force that will propel our children far beyond their years on the court. Providing children with equal playing time in youth sports discourages the necessary need for healthy competition and takes away valuable life lessons that will prepare them for the future.…
I find the first preseidential debate between candidates Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump interesting. I was very excited to watch this debate because Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump are very different in terms of their gender (which is obvious), background, personality, career, and interest. Presidential nomaniee from Democtratic Party Hillary Clinton came from a middle class family, she graduated from Law school, and have been involved in the polictical system for many years. Hillary Clinton has an experience as you can tell by the way she answered during the debate by using many examples and facts to backed her answer’s up. Being involved in the United States political system for at least 30 years, Hillary Clinton…
